On Tuesday, the Twitter application for iOS has been given a major update bringing the application up to version 6.0.

Twitter has been given a completely refreshed look and feel with this new update. This includes the ability to swipe between multiple timelines. You can also swipe between your Home, Activity, and More tabs. Twitter has also made it much easier to get to your direct messages.

Twitter also now allows users to send photos to each other via direct message, making it easier than ever before to share a photo with just one person. In addition, notification have been improved, allowing users to view replies, retweets, and favorites from only the people that you follow. Tweets are also now included in the application's search feature.

Last but not least, if you find something interesting that you want to read later, such as an article from ModMyi that popped up in your news feed, you can now choose to add the article to your Safari Reading List directly from the Twitter application.

Existing users of the Twitter application will find the update under the Updates tab in the App Store application. Alternatively, you can download the latest version of Twitter for free from this App Store link.
